SUMMARY:Sloane Crosley and Geoff Dyer in Conversation\, Foyles\, London
DESCRIPTION:Sloane Crosley and Geoff Dyer come together in conversation at Foyles to talk about their latest books and the wit and wisdom that characterise both their work.  \nSloane Crosley has written three bestselling essay collections (I was Told There’d Be Cake\, How Did You Get This Number\, and Look Alive Out There)\, two of which were shortlisted for the Thurber Prize for American Humour. Crosley is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and was previously the contributing editor at Interview Magazine. She has written columns for The Village Voice\, The Independent\, Vanity Fair\, The New York Observer\, and elsewhere. She lives in New York City. \nSloane Crosley visits the UK to celebrate the release of her take on the literary rom-com\, her new novel Cult Classic. A very funny sort of love story\, Cult Classic asks what a dating history that can constantly be relived online means for the future of modern romance. With sharp and elegantly hilarious humour in the vein of Fran Lebowitz and a sense for the subtleties and blatant ironies of modern life and love similar to Patricia Lockwood\, Sloane Crosley is totally herself. \nCrosley wrote of Geoff Dyer’s latest work that The Last Days of Roger Federer ‘will rearrange the art on the walls of your memory so that you might see it again\, as if for the first time.’ In this reflective and rejuvenating book\, Dyer considers his own middle age by looking at the later years of some of history’s artists\, musicians and sports stars. This is the ageless imagination at work of one of the greatest critics writing in English. \nGeoff Dyer is an award-winning author of eleven non-fiction books and four novels\, including Out of Sheer Rage\, Yoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It\, and See/Saw. A fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science\, Dyer lives in Los Angeles\, where he is Writer in Residence at the University of Southern California. \nTickets: £20 Book & Ticket\, inc. a copy of Sloane Crosley’s Cult Classic (RRP £16.99) / £8 General Admission \nVenue: The Auditorium (Level 6) at Foyles\, 107 Charing Cross Road\, London\nThe event will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing. Doors will open from 6:45pm. \nFor more information visit Foyles’ website.

SUMMARY:Louisiana Museum\, Copenhagen
DESCRIPTION:THE ELOQUENCE OF DIANE ARBUS AND THE WISDOM IN HER PHOTOGRAPHS \nThe British author and critic Geoff Dyer\, who is a great connoisseur of photography – and especially in the period when Diane Arbus worked – believes that one can rightly say that Arbus has added “new insight” to the world. Or\, as he puts it\, “a kind of wisdom that goes beyond what one might otherwise register.”\nIn this Lecture\, Geoff Dyer will focus on how we can see this in Arbus’ images and how we should respond to it.\nGeoff Dyer is the author of many books\, including three about photography: ‘The Ongoing Moment’\, ‘The Street Photography of Garry Winogrand’ and ‘See/Saw’.  He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science.  His new book\, ‘The Last Days of Roger Federer’ comes out this summer.\nThis lecture is in English. \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, Santa Barbara\, CA
DESCRIPTION:In his latest book\, Geoff Dyer turns his well-honed wit and sharp-edged wisdom to the consideration of endings. Taking a closer look at endings of significant events in life\, and even life itself\, Dyer in conversation with Sameer Pandya\, assistant professor in the Department of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, examines the achievements of writers\, painters\, musicians\, and athletes that have meant something to him as he approaches “late middle age.” With his signature playful charm and penetrating intelligence\, he considers the intensifications and modifications of experience that come when an ending is within sight\, and moves us seamlessly from the brush strokes of J. M. W. Turner to the tennis strokes of Roger Federer. \nThis book on last things\, written while life as we know it seemed to be coming to an end\, is at heart\, a tale about how to go on living with art and beauty. \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Greenlight Bookstore\, Fort Greene\, Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Dyer presents The Last Days of Roger Federer\nIn conversation with Sam Lipsyte \nWhen artists and athletes age\, what happens to their work? Does it ripen or rot? Achieve a new serenity or succumb to an escalating torment? As our bodies decay\, how do we keep on? Acclaimed author of Out of Sheer Rage and “one of our greatest living critics” (Kathryn Schulz\, New York) Geoff Dyer considers these questions in his newest book\, The Last Days of Roger Federer\, an extended meditation on late style and last works. Blending criticism\, memoir\, and humorous banter of the most serious kind\, Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last works of writers\, painters\, footballers\, musicians\, and tennis stars who’ve mattered to him throughout his life—revisiting Nietzsche’s breakdown in Turin\, Beethoven’s final quartets\, and John Coltrane’s cosmic melodies\, among other examples of uncouth geniuses defying convention far beyond their beautiful youths. Join us at our Fort Greene store for a very special evening contemplating the timeless tussle between art and life and the intensification of experience that comes when an ending comes into view. \nFor more information about the event click HERE.

SUMMARY:McNally Jackson\, Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch: Geoff Dyer Presents The Last Days of Roger Federer: And Other Endings\, in conversation with Jeremy Denk \nWhen artists and athletes age\, what happens to their work? Does it ripen or rot? Achieve a new serenity or succumb to an escalating torment? As our bodies decay\, how do we keep on? In this beguiling meditation\, Geoff Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last works of writers\, painters\, footballers\, musicians\, and tennis stars who’ve mattered to him throughout his life. With a playful charm and penetrating intelligence\, he recounts Friedrich Nietzsche’s breakdown in Turin\, Bob Dylan’s reinventions of old songs\, J. M. W. Turner’s paintings of abstracted light\, John Coltrane’s cosmic melodies\, Bjorn Borg’s defeats\, and Beethoven’s final quartets—and considers the intensifications and modifications of experience that come when an ending is within sight.

SUMMARY:Austin Central Library\, Austin\, Texas
DESCRIPTION:Ranging from Friedrich Nietzsche and the Doors to the nineteenth-century Alps and back\, Dyer’s book on last things is also a book about how to go on living with art and beauty—and on the entrancing effect and sudden illumination that an Art Pepper solo or Annie Dillard reflection can engender in even the most jaded and ironic sensibilities. Praised by Steve Martin for his “hilarious tics” and by Tom Bissell as “perhaps the most bafflingly great prose writer at work in the English language today\,” Dyer has now blended criticism\, memoir\, and humorous banter of the most serious kind into something entirely new. The Last Days of Roger Federer is a summation of Dyer’s passions\, and the perfect introduction to his sly and joyous work. \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Bay Area Book Festival - The End of Everything: Geoff Dyer and David Thomson on Aging and Other Disasters
DESCRIPTION:Few writers make us laugh–and think–as much as “effortlessly erudite” (The Boston Globe) polymath and self-described “malcontent” Geoff Dyer\, whose dizzying scope of knowledge and passion ranges from jazz to photography to cinema to yoga to visual art…we could go on. His new book\, The Last Days of Roger Federer: And Other Endings\, examines the waning years of minds (and lives) as brilliantly restless and singular as his own: from tennis legend Federer to Bob Dylan to Nietzsche\, and more. World-renowned film critic\, historian\, and novelist David Thomson is another multi-genre maestro whose latest\, Disaster\, Mon Amour\, is also an insightful\, witty meditation on dissolution: our collective cultural fascination with catastrophe (as long as it happens to someone else) and\, more seriously\, the way prettified disaster\, aided by virtual media\, helps us ignore reality (“we want our fears of physical ruin rendered as something so beautiful we feel no pain”). \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Rebecca West: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:English PEN and The London Library celebrate the energetic\, fearless and fierce Rebecca West. \n‘Hard as nails… a cross between a charwoman and a gipsy\, but as tenacious as a terrier\, with flashing eyes… immense vitality… suspicion of intellectuals\, and great intelligence…’ \nSo said Virginia Woolf of Rebecca West\, prolific author\, journalist\, literary critic\, travel writer and one of the foremost public intellectuals of the twentieth century. Throughout her incredibly full life she wrote countless works of fiction and non-fiction\, travelled the world\, fought for women’s suffrage and opposed fascism\, covered the Nuremberg trials as a journalist\, sheltered Yugoslav refugees on her country estate\, had affairs with famous men\, had a son with H G Wells\, and always spoke her mind. \nWest was a founding member of English PEN and Vice President of The London Library. As both organisations celebrate our anniversaries\, 100 years and 180 years respectively\, we\, in turn\, celebrate one of the most energetic\, fearless and fierce figures in our organisations’ histories. \nTo find out more and book £5 tickets for this online event click HERE.

SUMMARY:UC Irvine\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Geoff will be giving a public reading at UC Irvine\, followed by a book signing. \nGeoff Dyer is widely considered one of the leading writers of his generation. According to the New York Times\, “Mr. Dyer insouciantly mixes fiction and nonfiction\, smuggling invented bits into the seams of his reported essays and stitching long threads of transparently autobiographical material into his novels.”  The New York Review of Books writes\, “This prowling and capricious nature has produced one of the strangest bodies of work in contemporary letters.”   The Daily Beast calls him “absurdly versatile”\, and the Los Angeles Times states that “he is always present\, a defining intelligence\, a tour guide to the inner life.”
